Bugis is known as an affordable shopping district in Singapore unlike stories in Orchard Road and Marina Bay Sands. If you’re used to seeing low prices for toiletries and other bathroom essentials at supermarkets, you’d be surprised to know that some stores may offer cheaper prices.
Here are three of the most affordable shops in Bugis where you could buy several items and possibly cut your expenses in half:
Beauty Language
Perfume aficionados can save more than $100 if they buy branded fragrances from this shop. For instance, a 330 ml SK-II Facial Treatment Essence only costs $255.30 compared to the retail price of $365. Other brands include Lancome, L’Oreal and Estee Lauder. You may not find a good deal for shampoo and soap bars at this store, so it’s better to look elsewhere.
Beauty Language also has other shops in City Square Mall and United Square Shopping Mall. The retailer is one of the few companies with several outlets across Singapore.
Giant
Giant is a supermarket chain in Singapore that offers cheap prices for shampoo, soap and oral hygiene products. You can also keep an eye on monthly promotional deals that only last for a short time.
Bulk purchases offer the best value for money, so you should plan your purchases accordingly before heading to the Suntec City Mall store. You can also visit other outlets at Jalan Membina and Redhill within the Bukit Merah area.
Value Dollar & ABC Bargain Centre
Bar soaps, razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste comprise the best things to buy from this store. You can even find a soap bar or three toothbrushes worth less than $1, hence the name Value Dollar. The store seems to have a year-round sale for such items.
You can even buy snacks for a lower price compared to other stores. Just be sure to check the expiration dates, as most items are cheap because those are nearing their expiry period.
Are you planning to renovate your bathroom soon? That’s a good reason to buy some of the bathroom essentials from any of these stores.
